Footsteps of Hopelessness (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780796188342)

A Counseling Guide to Healing and Hope

Are you struggling with feelings of hopelessness, despair, and disconnection? Do you feel like you're walking alone in the dark, with no direction or purpose?

You're not alone. Hopelessness affects millions of people worldwide, cutting across cultures, ages, and backgrounds. As a counselor and advocate, I've seen firsthand the devastating impact of hopelessness on individuals, families, and communities.

In "Footsteps of Hopelessness," I share my expertise and experience to help you understand the root causes of hopelessness, from trauma and loss to addiction and isolation. But this book is more than just a diagnosis - it's a roadmap to healing, hope, and recovery.

Written from an African perspective, this guide challenges the stigma surrounding counseling and therapy in black communities. I show how counseling is not just a Western concept, but a universal human need that can be adapted and tailored to our unique cultural contexts by:

- Identifying the signs and symptoms of hopelessness

- Understand the impact of trauma, loss, and addiction on mental health

- Develop coping strategies and resilience techniques

- Seek help and support from counseling, therapy, and community resources

Don't let hopelessness define your story. Take the first step towards healing, hope, and recovery. Let "Footsteps of Hopelessness" be your guide on the journey to a brighter, more fulfilling future.
